Auction yards are not parking lots — storage fees start fast, and a non-running lot needs a carrier with a winch. The booking sequence that avoids most horror stories:
- Get the lot number, yard address, and buyer number to the transporter the day you win.
- Confirm the carrier (not just the broker) name, MC number and insurance certificate.
- Tell them if the vehicle is inoperable — a surprise winch job at the yard means a canceled pickup and another storage day.
